    I have been on mturk for about 2 1/2 years I only started seriously doing it since about last summer (2011) I have right about 219,000 approved and have made right around 18,000. That being said I am a stay at home mom of a school aged child so this IS my full time job and I mostly do batch HITS for specific requesters, I have only started doing surveys since joining this thread. So it is possible to make a semi decent living if you put the time in.

    You are a good Turker. I have a short attention span. I can't sit for very long. I stop and listen to music, talk in political forums, lurk on these boards. I do always try to get at least fifteen dollars in a day so I can afford Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness. lol

    Holy cow hearing some of your numbers is awesome! You guys rock. I'm at $578 and I started doing this about mid August, with 1914 currently approved. I've been doing far more batches since joining this forum too, and there is a real difference in what I have earned.

    Has anyone worked with taggered before? I've done a few of these today, and just loaded myself up enough for the next little bit of the night, but wanted to check before put all my eggs in one basket

    Holy fuck! do you just stick to surveys and batches? Or do you do writing ones as well?


    I need to really get better at writing so I can do them. It seems they pay the best.

    I've done about 30 in 3 days, about half are paid. Takes about a day to approve I think.

    I don't know how anybody can stand to write for Crowdsource, no matter how well they pay. People who don't know the difference between the AP style guide and rules of grammar have no business judging the merits of any piece of writing.

    Get it from Trader Joe's it's cheaper and tastes better than bolthouse crap green. :)

    Writing def pays the best if you are a quick writer, I used to write for a living so even though I can bang them out, I hate them - I pretty much never do those.

    I try to always be working on some batch HIT - I prefer the ones with long timers so I can do surveys when I see them or when someone here posts them without having to stop my batch work.

    I'm also more for batches so I can listen to audiobooks - I try to be very conscientious in my survey work, but that is more because of some of my own science background than anything else.

    Today, it is John Hodgman's new one:)

    I know, I couldn't finish 3 that I have left in my Hits Assigned to Me. My eyes were going crossed from the huge batch I did earlier.

    That's funny, `cause I originally started doing this as a kind of smart-assed way to pay for cigarettes :)
